What's something good that happened today?

[unsunghero]

Gf’s 13yr old kid didn’t know how to ride a bike. He’s nerdy and smart, introverted type

I told her that’s ridiculous, when he gets to college he might want to be able to bike across campus. That or longboard. So I bought a co-worker’s barely used mountain bike for $50, screaming deal

Today the day to learn buddy

Dunno shit about bikes so I just ran holding the seat repeating “pretend it’s a very sensitive racing controller and keep the handlebar facing forward. When you slow down you lose control so when in doubt, speed up!” After a while I just kept repeating when in doubt speed up

Dude learned in a day, no training wheels required. Jogged 2 miles with her and them around the park because fuck bikes. Bikes are for gays. He was going full out to where I couldn’t catch him running and I told him there, now you have a tool to stay ahead of zombies that can run full speed. Let him TEMPORARILY keep the bike too

When we got home, if it were me I woulda been taking that thing all over the neighborhood. He went right back to his tablet. Makes me feel like a sad boomer to see that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
